Understanding 9/11
In
April 2012, more than a year before Kenya’s 2013 elections, the Nandi Kaburwo
Council of Elders in Nandi Hills undertook the original task of writing the Nandi County Political Code
of Conduct (NCPCC). Throughout Kenya, the
pre-election period was characterized by a significant involvement of councils
of elders in spreading messages of peace and promoting “good leadership”,
unlike 2007 when these councils played an active role in mobilizing Kenyans to
take part in the post-electoral violence. Printed as an 8-page booklet, the NCPCC was targeting local candidates,
their supporters and political parties. It displayed regulations aimed to
contribute to the “transformation of Nandi County” into a prosperous place, an
“island of new politics, free of political madness.” Inspired from the role
models of the Kenyan “Goodwill Ambassadors” for peace put in place in 2012, and
based on oral narratives about iconic pre-colonial Nandi leaders—such as Kimnyolei and Koitalel Samoei—, this code of conduct
brings to light cultural, social, economic and political dynamics mobilized by
a wide range of actors (NGO, elders, candidates, entrepreneurs) during
electoral times.
